GRT Enviro Binder: Erosion Control Product
DON’T CATCH SEDIMENT – STOP EROSION AT THE SOURCE!
GRT: Enviro Binder is a unique erosion control product proven to outperform in any application and provide immediate, long lasting results.
What it is:
GRT: Enviro Binder is an advanced soil binder designed to stabilise soil and control erosion. It is a non-toxic, environmentally friendly product that is easy to apply. Its main purpose is to enhance soil strength and avoid its decay, making it an ideal choice for various applications.
How it Works:
GRT: Enviro Binder penetrates into and binds with soil and forms a complex interconnected structure with the loose granular surface particles. After the polymer dries, a durable surface, waterproof layer is formed that binds the surface and prevents erosion.
Non-toxic and environmentally friendly, GRT: Enviro Binder can be applied in the most environmentally sensitive areas where very low to nil impacts to environmental values are guaranteed for up to 12 months. GRT: Enviro Binder has been independently tested and extensively used across a large number of projects in a diverse range of environments.
Effective erosion control life is typically 6 months, however in some instances, the product has performed for 18 to 24 months at a time.
Application:
GRT: Enviro Binder is diluted (1:9) with water and then sprayed onto the material surface by truck or hand spray. The environmentally friendly, tough and durable polymer is applied to stop erosion on exposed slopes and areas at risk of erosion by rainfall and overland flow.
Areas of concentrated water flow such as v-drains (side drains or road ditches) are effectively treated by simply applying multiple coats, or applying at a reduced dilution.
The product also reduces the risk of wind erosion and subsequent dust generation to zero – making it the perfect one-two combination!
Common applications are:
- Cut or embankment batters
- Preload embankment protection
- Stockpiles and bunds
- V-drain & Catch Banks
Positive Environmental Impact:
- Reduces Soil Loss: By controlling erosion, GRT: Enviro Binder helps reduce soil loss. This is crucial for maintaining soil fertility and supporting plant growth.
- Prevents Water Pollution: Erosion often leads to sediment runoff, which can pollute water bodies. GRT: Enviro Binder minimises this runoff, protecting rivers, lakes, and streams from contamination.
- Supports Vegetation Growth: Stabilised soil provides a better environment for vegetation. This promotes plant growth and helps restore degraded areas.
- Decreases Dust Emissions: Dust from loose soil can be a health hazard and an environmental concern. GRT: Enviro Binder reduces dust emissions, improving air quality and protecting ecosystems.
- Enhances Water Retention: Stabilised soil retains water more effectively, reducing the need for irrigation and supporting sustainable water management practices.
GRT: Enviro Binder - long lasting, proven erosion control.
Key Benefits:
Non toxic and environmentally friendly product to both terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna (Livestock, fish, birds)
Immediately effective once applied and binds soil preventing impact and sheet erosion on any exposed soil area including fl at surfaces, batters and stockpiles
Supports seed and vegetation growth by forming a matrix bonds within the soil allowing the growth to take place whilst maintaining its erosion and dust suppression properties for the long term.
Minimal soil preparation for application of product
